    Relapse does not have to be a part of the recovery process, but it is a reality that many will encounter. The necessity to hit a painful bottom has proven to be a very effective motivator toward a successful recovery. “when the pain of remaining the same becomes greater than the pain of changing, we will change” (Narcotics Anonymous, 1992, pg. 173).

    Fifteen years ago the U.S. Department of Justice developed a national reentry court program, designed after drug court programs, to specifically deal with substance abuse. Since then reentry programs have been even more developed and spread throughout the U.S. to encompass educational, job and social programs in addition to substance abuse programs (Duwe, 2012). The goal of the reentry court was to provide offenders with programs that provide guidance and support to offenders before and after they are released, in hopes of reducing the chances of rearrest, reconviction, incarceration, revocation and recidivism. (Hamilton, 2011). Since 1999, many scholars have set out to examine and understand the effects that prison reentry programs have on…
